1952 Map of Saulsbury

About this map

Saulsbury sits as the central hub of this West Tennessee landscape, its development closely tied to the Southern RR railroad line that bisects the territory. The surrounding countryside is defined by the headwaters and branches of Spring Creek, which carves a network of valleys through the terrain. Notable local landmarks from this era include the Pleasant Grove Sch and Pleasant Hill Sch, which served the rural population alongside numerous country churches like West Memorial Ch and Rocky Springs Ch. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named burial grounds, including the Pruette Cem, Lake Cem, and Antioch Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and creek bottoms. The 1980 photorevisions reveal changes in the local hydrology, specifically at Frese Pond, while the agricultural character of the land remains largely intact south of the state line.
